Computer for 3d Graphics and Gaming

Hello,

I want to build a new computer. I would like to run applications like Maya, 3ds Max and After Effects blazingly fast (especially when rendering). I'm not that much interested in gaming (I just want it to be able to run the current games and the ones that will appear in the next 3-4 years).

Mainly, I'd like an i7 sandy bridge processor, 8 gb ram (or more, as fast as possible), 1 ssd drive (>60gb), over 2 TB storage. The case doesn't have to be pretty, just functional. Also, I won't need any optical drive, and I won't try to do any overclocking.

My maximum budget is 1400$. And I have to order the components from this website: www.emag.ro

I have never built a computer before. Please, please help me with some advice.

if your working with 1400 Romanian, you are not going to be able to afford an SDD, 2tb of storage, and a sandy bridge CPU.

With that being said I will try my best to translate the Romanian site and setup a build for you assuming 1400 USD. You will have to check the prices yourself to see if this fits your budget, im using the current exchange rate according to google.

Hello. Thank you very much for your answer. It is absolutely perfect for my budget. Just one question: If I could squeeze my pockets... do you think I can use the Intel® Core i7-2600K SandyBridge processor with the configuration you suggested? Would it be worth the price difference? Thank you once again.
